Unhappy Poor Day at Moroso

Yesterday was my 2nd time out at Moroso to run my Car.....
I agree with Demon Llamma...that Moroso does suck....
Anways I got there yesterday and It was raining cats and dogs, It cleared so they prepped the track for everyone to run......I got nuthing but wheels spin 1st and 2nd all motor.....I made the mistake of spraying on 2nd and got nothing but wheel hop.....The last time I was at the track I had a CAI and a Test pipe, and ran a 14.8.....I guess its experience too....This time it was terrible......here are the Vids........

^^^^^this run I sprayed second ...spun so much when I threw 3rd I was way under my VTEC engagment point...next Ill do it on 3rd...It was a 14.5....Ill post up the slips later My girl was video taping!

^^^^^This run was all motor with a Mustang with mods on slicks...I launched a little under 5 grand ,cuz I was getting too much wheel hop...And it felt faster but my 60 ft. was abit longer...Ran a crappy 15.1....W/E....there you go everyone I guess practice Makes perfect
P.S- next time Im going to brandegton..or whatever its called:)
Here are some pics too.....
from Fudruckers....

didn't go cuz of the rain...
apart from that i know how f*cked up that track is.....don't launch over 4500....u'll spin too much....personally after many many runs the day i went there i realised the best launching point was around 3800 for that track...

but then again we are in south florida....so the heat and humidy doesn't make things any better....

but that track sucks....that being said...i'll go back again and just keep it all relative...i know if i run a good time there, i'm running exceptional times elsewhere.
